  • Zoom Tips: See the Tips for Meeting Attendees section of this link. https://www.technology.pitt.edu/blog/zoom-tips The most basic tips are to keep your microphone on mute unless you're actively speaking (this help to improve sound quality), remove visual distractions in your background (e.g. walking with your cell phone), and place your video camera at eye level with good lighting.
